Handed out by city's comedy festival

Rachel Parris has won this year’s Bath Plug Award, presented by the Bath Comedy Festival.

The Mash Report and Now Show regular is only the fourth person to have received the accolade –  a specially engraved golden bath plug – following Terry Jones,  Barry Cryer and Comic Strip Presents guru Peter Richardson.

Comedy historian Jem Roberts, one of the organisers of the award, described Parris as ‘a unique voice in British comedy, her brand of smiling satire having gone viral around the world’.
